Title
J. J. Abrams has stated that unlike the original series' Trek films, this film will have no roman numeral following the title Star Trek (to avoid repeating the form used with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) or any subtitle used with a colon like The Next Generation's film series. On September 7, 2012, bloggers revealed that the film's title was expected to be Star Trek into Darkness. Cast member Simon Pegg also posted this title, and Abrams acknowledged the title during his interview on the talk show Conan

I hated STID. Such a stain on the Trek legacy, and a blatant ripoff of both WOK and SFS. Also, I didn't find it very clever of the writers to structurally rip off Reboot (sometimes scene for scene) in terms of how plot and characterization was set-up. No wonder the movie overall grossed less than Reboot! Nobody wants to see something so vastly unoriginal, uninspired, and that ignores everything that makes Trek special in the first place.

I still love Reboot. It's what finally enabled to to go back and watch the series. (My real dad was a TNG watcher, so I've always been familiar with Trek, but I had issues with my real dad, so I never had a 'entry in' to watch the franchise until JJ came along.) However, this turd is going to the same place in my mind where I keep Spider-Man 3: it doesn't exist.
